Hopefully over the illness.

UGH. That is the word that comes to mind. UGH.

My house has been plagued with illness.
It started with Rowdy. He started with a headache, added a cough, some body aches and a fever.
He was down for the count.
I mean DOWN.
He was sick on his birthday....spent the day in bed. SLEPT all day!

Monday came, and Rowdy got up to go to work (against Dr. Michelle's advice).
He made it half way to work....pulled over and called in sick to work.

Rowdy NEVER calls in sick to work. I mean NEVER, not one time in the past 18 years.
That is when I knew he felt bad!
He came home and went to bed....and slept....all day.

Monday night....Jake started complaining of a headache... I thought it may be from the pressure of the new braces.... WRONG.... the headache was soon followed by body aches, chills, and a high fever...

ROUND two begins. Jake has been layed up on the couch since then...spiking a fever of 104.2.
Absent from school (the tragedy).

BUT..... as of 11:00 yesterday....he is fever free...still has a cough, but is back to his normal
(ping pong ball bouncing ) self.

So , Today we return to work and school. WOOHOO. He hates missing school.
And although I complain, I don't like to miss work.

I miss my friends, I worry about my kids that come to me for a little TLC.

Glad the illness has passed. Crossing our fingers that Emily and I have escaped it.

And that is what is up around here!
